Bees Wintering Well. 



Bees are wintering well so far, and I hope 

 for a good season this j-ear, although we had 

 a good one last year. D. E. Lane.

Spring Developing of Bees, Ete. 



I have been much pleased of late, with 

 many of the suggestions of bee-keepers in the 

 American Bee Journal. Spring developing of 

 bees I believe can be helped much by protect- 

 ing the single-walled hives by some kind of 

 cover from the cold, blowiiig winds, and 

 sleety, rainy days of spring. Last spring I 

 covered mine with blankets, oil-cloths, or 

 anything I could get, and tied them on with 

 twine, and I know it helped them very much. 

 This spring I mean to get as much factory- 

 cloth and boiled linseed oil and make a full 

 cover for all hives, and cover all but the en- 

 trance. 



Another little article I find very useful is a 

 little scraper made of the section of a field- 

 mower: pierce a hole in the center and rivet a 

 ^i or Sg inch rod 10 inches long for a handle; 

 it dresses up mussy frames and hives nicely. 



Another thing I use for brushing bees off 

 combs is a turkey-wing; it far excels all the 

 brushes I have tried. R. McCRiDiE

Think Honey Made by Man. 



This is not a good locality for bees, only 

 about one year in 4 or 5 that they pay for the 

 work done; about enough honey produced 

 to create an appetite for that kind of sweet. 



I have been very much iHterested in "The 

 Truth About Honey." 



Several times I have been in town when 

 men would call my attention to the grocers' 

 nice display of comb honey, and declare they 

 knew some man made it. When I would tell 

 them It could not be done they would look at 

 me pretty sharp, and walk off, as much as to 

 say. " you belong to the ring." I have ad- 

 vised the grocers to order second grade, and 

 If they were too white and clean, to rub them 

 with wax and dirt until they looked like the 

 ones I sold them. James Coe.

Shade fop Hives. 



To the bee-keepers that are looking for a 

 pretty, cheap and green (in season) shade, 

 that can be planted in any desirable place 

 around your house or lawn if there is soil, I 

 wish to offer the following : 



In looking over the old and latest American 

 Bee Journal, some of the bee-keepers com- 

 plain about the combs melting in the hot sun 

 etc. Others want some good, cheap shade. I've 

 had this cheap, pretty shade for the last two 

 years and I challenge any one to show a better 

 adapted and cheaper (hive) shade, (that can 

 be sent through the mail or express, Mr. 

 Hasty) for less money, and less work. After 

 being planted it will come for years and stand 

 upright, and make the finest shade just at the 

 right season : after frost it will cease to shade 

 the hives until the next summer, then it will 

 grow up in the same place.
